National writer: Rob Ryan coached circles around Jason Garrett the last two seasons

NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal writes: Ryan’s firing points out the uncomfortable reality that Ryan has coached circles around Jason Garrett the last two seasons. The Cowboys defense hasn’t been great, but it quickly improved from the 32-ranked unit Ryan took over in 2011. Garrett’s offense has been sloppier with more talent at its disposal overall. The offense is unimaginative and doesn’t create advantages for its players. It repeatedly makes mental mistakes. The Cowboys defense played well early this year before a ton of injuries hit. Garrett’s game management decisions probably cost the Cowboys two games alone.
